SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Music by Neptune Steel Orchestra\, Decorative Arts Gallery tour\, Zen film
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities throughout the year: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Neptune Steel Orchestra of Louisiana\n6 pm: Gallery Talk with Curator Mel Buchanan in the newly reimagined Decorative Arts Galleries\n7 pm: Screening of Spring\, Summer\, Fall\, Winter … and Spring\n\nABOUT NEPTUNE STEEL ORCHESTRA OF LOUISIANA\nThe distinctive percussive sounds of the Caribbean will fill NOMA’s Great Hall with a performance by the Neptune Steel Orchestra of Louisiana\, a steelpan musical group initially comprised of expats from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago\, the birthplace of steelpan. The mission of NSOL is to provide and promote cultural diversity by offering the opportunity to learn\, perform\, and appreciate symphonic steelpan music. \nABOUT SPRING\, SUMMER\, FALL\, WINTER…AND SPRING\nScreened in conjunction with the exhibition Teaching Beyond Doctrine: Painting and Calligraphy by Zen Masters\, from acclaimed Korean writer/director Kim Ki-Duk comes this exquisitely beautiful and award-winning human drama set on a tree-lined lake where a tiny Buddhist monastery floats on a raft. Under the vigilant eye of Old Monk (Yeong-su Oh)\, Child Monk learns a hard lesson about the nature of sorrow when some of his childish games turn cruel. In the intensity and lushness of summer\, the monk\, now a young man (Young-min Kim)\, experiences the power of lust\, a desire that will ultimately lead him to dark deeds. With winter\, the man atones for his past actions\, and spring starts the cycle anew. With an extraordinary attention to visual detail\, Kim has crafted an original yet universal story about the human spirit\, moving from innocence\, through love and evil\, to enlightenment and finally rebirth. (2004 | Rated R | 1 hour\, 42 minutes) \nPrior to the screening\, Abbot Richard Collins from the New Orleans Zen Temple will provide a 10-minute introduction.  \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

She will be interviewed on stage by Susan Larson\, host of The Reading Life on WWNO\, New Orleans’s NPR affiliate\, and the author of The Booklover’s Guide to New Orleans. \nThe Arts & Letters Series is made possible through funding from the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival. \nABOUT SKYLAR FEIN\nSkylar Fein’s immersive installation Remember the Upstairs Lounge commemorates the 1973 arson at the Upstairs Lounge\, a popular gay bar in the French Quarter. The work is on view in the exhibition Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories. Fein\, whose work has long explored New Orleans’ many diverse subcultures and informal communities\, recreates this space to offer a haunting memorial to the event and those impacted by the tragedy. Comprising both real and fictional memorabilia of the era as well as crime scene photos and charred objects\, Fein’s installation examines notions of history\, memory\, truth and the slippages between them. Though a disgruntled customer was suspected\, no one was ever convicted for the crime\, which resulted in 32 casualties and countless injuries. Restaging this project almost exactly ten years after its original presentation in Prospect.1\, NOMA’s installation considers the continued reverberation of this unsolved crime for LGBT communities across New Orleans. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Community Night at NOMA
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Community Night at the New Orleans Museum of Art with FREE admission for all visitors and featuring live music\, food trucks\, gallery tours\, a discussion on the Instagram-based #EverydayNewOrleans project\, and art-making activities. Community Night is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories.  \n\n5–8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n Drop-in art-making activities\n5:30 pm: Pint-Sized Tour of Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories for children age 5–11\n5:30–8:30 pm: Music in the Great Hall by Lynn Drury\n6 pm: #EverydayNewOrleans Roundtable\n6:15 and 7 pm: Gallery Tours of Changing Course\n7:45 pm: Teen-Focused Tour of Changing Course\nAll galleries and special exhibitions\, Café NOMA\, and the Museum Shop remain open till 9 pm.\n\nABOUT LYNN DRURY\nNew Orleans-based singer/songwriter Lynn Drury rocks her audiences with her catchy grooves\, sing-along anthems\, and soulful lyrics. Although she has been compared to Lucinda Williams\, Neil Young\, and Van Morrison\, Lynn epitomizes the hard-to-describe sound of “NOLAmericana” — music rooted in the groove of the Crescent City. \nABOUT #EVERYDAYNEWORLEANS\nAs part of Changing Course\, NOMA\, the New Orleans Photo Alliance and The Everyday Projects have partnered to offer workshops to local schools\, aid organizations and community centers in which students and participants will learn to use photography to share their unique perspectives on life in their neighborhoods. The Everyday Projects is a social media and educational outreach program aimed at challenging stereotypes\, bridging communities and building visual literacy through photography. It began in 2012 as Everyday Africa\, an Instagram account that uses photographs of everyday life to transcend media- driven stereotypes of Africa as a place overrun by disease\, poverty\, and war. It has since expanded into cities across the country\, including Atlanta\, Washington D.C.\, and the Bronx\, N.Y. At NOMA\, this project culminated in a display of selected photographs and texts that are displayed in dialogue with the artistic projects on view in Changing Course. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Music by Bamboula 2000 | Artist Perspective with Willie Birch on Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities throughout the year: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n\n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Bamboula 2000\n6 pm: Artist Perspective with Willie Birch on Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories\n7 pm: Gallery tour of Teaching Beyond Doctrine: Painting and Calligraphy by Zen Masters with Curator Lisa Rotondo-McCord\n\n\n\nABOUT BAMBOULA 2000\nBamboula 2000 is deeply rooted in the soul of Congo Square in New Orleans. This exciting music and dance experience formed in 1994 has become beloved in its home city and beyond. Bamboula 2000’s music is influenced by New Orleans\, the Caribbean and Africa. The group has won the prestigious Big Easy Award for Best World Music group three times and has been nominated eight times. In addition\, Bamboula 2000 reaches thousands of children annually through their Imagination Tour dance-and-drum workshops. \nABOUT WILLIE BIRCH\nWillie Birch is a New Orleans-based artist who draws inspiration from this city and the complexity of its diverse traditions and histories. Working in a variety of mediums\, from paper mache to acrylic and charcoal on paper\, he renders second lines\, street musicians and the architecture of New Orleans with a nuanced eye towards intimate details—power lines and chain linked fences\, discarded sneakers and wood-paneled shot-gun houses that bear traces of their histories. Birch’s recent work questions the role that history plays in determining our present and future. His installation for Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories presents new works that focus on roots and bones\, the largely invisible structures that both sustain and support what we see above and around them. At the same time\, his work will refer museum visitors to associated artwork and performances staged offsite at a community-driven arts space that Birch is creating in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward. \nABOUT TEACHING BEYOND DOCTRINE: PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY BY ZEN MASTERS\nPainting and calligraphy by Zen monks has a long history in Japan. Introduced from China in the twefth century\, Zen (meaning “meditation”) has its origins in the teachings of the Buddha\, the sixth-century BCE Indian prince who taught that it was possible to be freed from suffering and the cycles of rebirth. \nThe paintings and works of calligraphy on view in NOMA’s Art of Japan Gallery were created by Zen masters during the Edo period (1615–1868). The most influential of these\, Hakuin Ekaku (168–1769)\, is credited with creating a new visual language for Zen\, by dramatically expanding its subjects and themes to include Shinto gods\, Confucian maxims\, Japanese legend\, folklore\, and scenes from everyday life. Hakuin’s immediate followers\, along with later generations of Zen masters\, have drawn on this rich visual vocabulary to the present day. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.
